Revenue
In 2019, total Group revenue increased by 2.3% YoY to RUB 165,086 mln. The
revenue increase was primarily triggered by the continuing the continuing
expansion of DA! and higher shelf inflation. At the same time, organic Group
total revenue, excluding the effect of the supermarket business sale,
increased by 3.0% YoY, on the back of continuing double-digit growth of the
discounter business. The value-for-money concept continued to show its
efficiency: LFL revenue of DA! grew by 14.9% YoY, supported by a steady
increase in LFL traffic and average ticket (up 8.6% YoY and 5.8% YoY
respectively).
IFRS 16 implementation
The Group has applied IFRS 16 since 1 January 2019. Upon adopting IFRS 16,
the Group recognised its lease liabilities in relation to leases which had
previously been classified as 'operating leases' under IAS 17. The
associated right-of-use assets for leases were measured at their carrying
amounts as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date, but
discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate at the date of
initial application.
Upon implementing the standard, the Group's management began to assess
Company performance based on the figures presented in accordance with IFRS
16.

profit
The Group's gross profit margin increased by 19 bps YoY on a comparable
basis while increasing in absolute terms by RUB 1,196 mln, driven by better
sales, the optimisation of the assortment matrix and the continuing
improvement of purchasing conditions. Increased imports of own brand
assortment in different categories also positively affected gross margin.
Shrinkage costs increased by 8.8% YoY, mainly due to cancelling supplier
returns of products with a shelf-life of less than 30 days.
Logistics costs remained flat at 2.4% of revenue in 2019, as two opposing
factors offset one another: as quality standards were increased, processing
costs also grew, however that was compensated for by a decrease in delivery
tariffs.

362 915
In 2019, personnel costs as a percentage of revenue increased by 17 bps to
8.9% or by RUB 604 mln YoY. This increase was largely attributable to
necessary wage increases at the hypermarkets business in the second half of
2018 and to new discounter openings, partly offset by the sale of the
supermarket business.
Communications, utilities, repairs, and maintenance expenses increased as a
percentage of revenue by 8 bps YoY or by 5.1% in absolute terms. The
increase was primarily caused by indexing utility tariffs in the second half
of 2019, rising tariffs for cleaning services and planned equipment repairs
in 2019. The Group continues to work towards optimising related costs and
efficiency improvements.
Advertising and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue increased by
13 bps primarily driven by higher expenses related to promo actions and
recently introduced regular leaflets for Fresh categories.
Insurance and banking expenses as a percentage of revenue increased by 5 bps
due to the growing usage of cards for payment by our clients.
Depreciation and amortisation increased by 85.5% YoY in comparison with 2018
figure under IFRS 17 due to the implementation of new IFRS 16 standard.
Other operating income and expenses
In June 2019, the Group signed an agreement with a third party for the sale
of subsidiaries holding rights for lease of land plots in Moscow. According
to the agreement, the total proceeds are RUB 1,553 mln.
Additionally, the Group recognised an impairment loss in the amount of RUB
821 mln in 2019 versus RUB 369 mln in 2018, primarily in respect of mature
low-performing stores and other related non-current assets, including one
O'KEY store and one DA! store.
Foreign exchange gain / (loss)
The foreign exchange gain was due to a substantial difference in exchange
rates at both the end and the beginning of the reporting period, arising
primarily from intragroup USD-denominated loans.
Net finance costs
Finance costs on loans and borrowings decreased as a percentage of revenue
by 0.3% YoY, driven by a decline in the weighted average interest rate from
8.8% in 12M 2018 to 8.5% in 12M 2019. At the same time, total finance costs
increased by 58.3% YoY as a result of additional interest costs on lease
liabilities in the amount of RUB 2,223 mln under the new IFRS 16 standard.

Net cash used in operating activities during the reporting period improved
from RUB 4,762 mln in 12M 2018 to RUB 11,078 mln in 12M 2019, due amongst
other factors, to the implementation of IFRS 16. Repayment of principal
amount of lease liabilities and interest paid on them in the amount of RUB
6,370 mln were presented in cash flows from financing activities, while in
2018 under IAS 17 all lease payments were presented in cash flows from
operating activities.
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to RUB 1,352 mln in 2019.
This was a result of the Group's 2019 capital expenditures (CAPEX) of RUB
2,919 mln (excluding VAT), which were partly offset by proceeds received
from the sale of subsidiaries owning lease rights for two land plots and
other non-current assets of the RUB 1,553 mln. During the reporting period,
the Group paid RUB 1,004 mln (excluding VAT) for the development of its
hypermarket business and RUB 1,915 mln (excluding VAT) for the development
of its discounter business.
Net cash used in financing activities in 12M 2019 amounted to RUB 12,922
mln. Over the reporting period, the Group attracted RUB 13,253 mln in
financing and made repayments of loans and borrowings totalling RUB 15,844
mln. As at 31 December 2019, the Group had RUB 15,947 mln of undrawn,
committed borrowing facilities available in Russian roubles on a fixed and
floating basis, in respect of which all conditions have been met. Proceeds
from these facilities may be used to finance operating and investing
activities as necessary.
Financial liabilities
By 31 December 2019, net debt had increased by 1.9% YoY to RUB 26,212 mln.
With its major creditors, the Group negotiated a new covenant calculated as
total interest-bearing liabilities (net debt and lease liabilities) divided
by the EBITDA based on IFRS 16. The Group complies well with all bank
covenants as of 31/12/2019.
